Recently (in the last week or so) firefox, thunderbird and libreoffice fonts all turn to blocks (black rectangles) after a minute or two.
I have completely reinstalled the OS with only the default repositories (not even packman) in case I had some oddball problem there - but the problem remains.
Here is an example of what it looks like...

when I first run thunderbird or firefox they look fine, then for no reason I can discover, as I move the mouse over the fonts they turn to blocks.
Applications affected...
firefox, thunderbird, libreoffice, ksnapshot, gnucash
Applications not affected...
xemacs, konsole, kde desktop, konqueror, dolphin
System details:
opensuse 13.1
kde desktop
>name -a

Other machines I have are fine (32 bit laptop, 64bit laptop)
Help desperately sought! Thanks in advance
